OMG !!!!!!!!!!
That was a shock, I can't believe John was saved again. Reckon the judges are getting abit pee'd off.

Was going to say a shock but instead will say shocking!! Rachel and Vincent in a dance off and Heather's best dance too.

Who is going to be sacrificed next week..err,will it be John?..no probably Jody,she was lucky this week!

but what about that Cha Cha? can't think of an adjective to do the dancers justice!!!... fantabulous!! lol :O))

It was sad really that Heather had to go, the improvement in her dancing last night was great, and she danced really well in the dance off. John is a lovely fellow but I think it is unfair that the public are keeping him in. it is a dance contest not a publicity contest (or is supposed to be). sadly I think there are a large number of members of the public who are using their vote to 'put two fingers up' to the judges (because they can!). It spoils it for everyone else though, not least those whoa re working really hard to get their dancing right. John appears to find it funny but if I were him I would be embarrassed.

I felt sorry for all three contestants - John who should have been in the dance off - surely deep down he must be embarrassed, Heather because although she hasn't exactly been top notch she danced her socks off last night and in the dance-off and Rachel just didn't deserve to be in the dance-off at all. She seems to lack confidence at the best of times and having danced really well, landing in the bottom two will have destroyed her confidence altogether I wouldn't wonder. Still, each series has had its shocks so I suppose we should expect it. If the judges didn't make such dreadful comments to the poor dancers the public probably wouldn't run to their defence as much and perhaps vote more sensibly. Roll on next Saturday. See you all then.

Hiya everyone Lovely thread,
I have to agree with most of you. I am sickened that John is still in makes a mockery of the whole programme.
If he really was decent man he would volunteer to leave or at least ask the public to stop being silly and be fair.
one very disgruntled
Tricia x
PS He seems to do the same flatfooted stomp to every dance LOL it's never any different.

Perhaps to save face John should feign an injury to get him out.

I always think Jimmy Tarbuck realised it was hard work, and left because of his ticker.

Actually the press arn't helping the 'cause' re John. This week I think nearly every paper has had an article in regarding him still being in and thwarting the judges. If there wasn't so much press and so many derogatory remarks from the judges, I think he would go

AnninGlos

AnninGlos Report 13 Nov 2008 20:21

He actually had an article in the press himself saying in not so many words that the judges could say what they like but the public are following the rules and voting for him therefor they (the judges) could put up with it or get out! So there is no way he is going to bow out gracefully and I believe their is a group on Facebook or something who are pledged to keep voting for him.

I think if the judges were not so nasty, people would not feel so sorry for John, and would not vote him in. You know there are so many people who do feel sorry for the underdog, which he is , in this contest.

Did anyone hear the item on John Sergeant's efforts on Radio 4 this morning ?

Input by several of his journalist colleagues who seem to admire him greatly so he will probably win!!!

AnninGlos Report 15 Nov 2008 13:10

No, he wont win I don't think, don't the judges have the final say.

Well, for the first time this series I found the show really exciting !! I actually voted tonight for the first time - voted for Jodie and Rachel. Everybody upped their game and the stakes are high, and I honestly don't know who will fall into the bottom two. The judges were nice to John tonight - a new tactic? - will this ensure a lack of sympathy votes? For me personally, the other two contestants who could possibly be in the dance off are Lisa and Cherie. Am really curious now to see just who will land those two dreaded places.
